The Brothel [Draken - Tokyo Revengers]

Chapter 1: The Drop Off

Chapter 1:

"Are you really going to leave her here, Mitsuki?" The older gentleman behind the counter asked my mother who brought me to this weird place, the place was full of posters of half-dressed women, and there was a strong smell of fragrant lotion that lingered the entire building.

"She's all yours," My mother said as she puffed on her cigarette, "Do whatever you want with her, make her work for you for all I care," She said as she pushed me towards this lady who was wearing nothing but a two-piece and a see-through nightgown.

"Mitsuki, she's your daughter, how can you do this to her," The lady said as she knelt down and pulled me into a hug.

"I didn't even want a stupid child," My mother rebutted then left, she left me with these strangers in an unknown place, but I didn't cry, I wasn't scared but I was mostly confused.

I really didn't understand what happened, why was I abandoned? What did I do wrong?

"Are you okay?" The lady asked me, "What's your name?" 

"Kazehaya Haruka," I responded monotonously, 

"Well, Haruka-chan, don't worry, we'll take good care of you," She told me, and the older gentleman behind the counter nodded, 

"Ken!" He called out, a boy around my age came, he looked pretty confused and annoyed that he was called out of nowhere, "This is Haruka, be nice to her okay?" 

"Haruka-chan, this is Ken-bou, he'll be your best friend, okay?" The lady said, introducing me to this tall boy in front of me,

That's how I first met Ryuguji Ken, and I have been with him ever since. I was 4 years old, he was 5.

...

[6 YEARS LATER]

 "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Ken who was staring at a photograph he held in his hand,

"I sure am!" He said enthusiastically, "Even high schoolers will fear me!"

"But a tattoo? on the temple nonetheless!" I tried to talk him out of him but I have never seen him so eager to do something this big before, I really can't stop him at this point.

"Just shut up and come with me," He said as he grabbed my hand and we headed inside this tattoo parlor near the brothel. 

By now you guys have probably figured out, my mother left me at a brothel when I was 4, that's where I first met Ryuguji Ken, he was also left by his mother here. My mother used to be a prostitute at that brothel and got pregnant by one of her customers.

She eventually met this really rich businessman and offered her to get married and start a life together, but the only thing was, he didn't know my mom had a daughter. So she decided to abandon me at the brothel where she quoted it as "the hell hole you came from"

It didn't bother me that much that I was left though, I wasn't emotionally attached to my mother, she used to always go home drunk and beat me for no apparent reason. Even if I was doing good, she'd still beat me, sometimes with a stick but usually with a belt. 

One time she even threw her liquor bottle on my head, she said all of this was my fault. I don't exactly know what 'this' meant but whatever it was, she blamed it all on me.

Growing up I never really understood what I did wrong, and I don't know if the things I was doing were right. 

But ever since then, all I ever want is for the people I love to be happy, and that was Ryuguji Ken.
